What is the best way to do automatic attribute assignment in Python, and is it a good idea?

Question

Instead of writing code like this every time I define a class:

class Foo(object): 
     def __init__(self, a, b, c, d, e, f, g):
        self.a = a
        s         


        

Answer 1

If you have a lot of variables, you could pass one single configuration dict or object.
